Improvements in a palm seed pod puller that uses a lever arm operates through a pivoting fulcrum to increase the mechanical advantage of a user to pull the seed tassel more easily from the stalk with less effort. A spring directed cam applies force to clamp onto the seed tassel and can increase the gripping force as the stalk is being pulled. The cam rotates to increase the clamping force as the stalk is crushed and flattens. The cam allows the stalk to wrap around the cam to increase the contact surface for clamping. The support post is positioned within the tree and around the palm fronds where the end of the post rests against the tree to provide a base for the fulcrum and lever arm to apply forces in the opposite direction of the pulling forces on the seed tassel.
